2025 Developments
Beauty and personal care in Oman demonstrated steady growth in 2025, supported by rising disposable incomes and expanding retail infrastructure, positioning it favourably within the GCC despite trailing larger neighbours in retail sophistication. The industry’s value sales increased by 4% in 2025 to reach OMR214 million, underpinned by inflation-driven unit price rises and modest volume growth, reflecting resilient consumer demand. Cultural affinity sustained fragrances as the leading sales contributor, while colour cosmetics experienced dynamic expansion fuelled by social media influence and premiumisation. The emergence of Arab beauty has reshaped product development by blending regional aesthetics with global trends, emphasising formulations tailored to Oman’s climate and consumer preferences. Concurrently, natural and clean beauty has gained traction, especially among younger consumers and men, aligning with global wellness trends and driving innovation in personalised solutions. Established multinational companies maintain leadership through broad portfolios and multi-channel distribution, yet digitally native brands such as Sheglam challenge incumbents by leveraging influencer marketing and e-commerce growth. Distribution remains anchored in hypermarkets and supermarkets, but specialist retailers and e-commerce channels are expanding rapidly, driven by digitally-engaged consumers seeking convenience, expert advice, and premium experiences. To succeed, brands must combine culturally relevant product innovation with digital-first marketing, premiumisation, multifunctionality, and sustainability, capitalising on Oman’s evolving consumer sophistication and demographic dynamics.
